The Refugee Team at Rio Olympics gave the world a message of hope

Did you see British cyclist Bradley Wiggins during his team’s medal ceremony at the Rio Olympics?

Wiggins, a five-time gold medal winner, was standing very seriously during his country’s national anthem and almost seemed ready to cry. But suddenly he stuck out his tongue and a big smile crossed his face.

That was funny. His teammates laughed and the crowd cheered.

The Olympic Games create different emotions: Pride, triumph, misery, fun and sometimes hope.
